Amit Chakma, President & Vice-Chancellor will bring greetings from Western. Musical entertainment will be provided by "The Good Accoustics" featuring Elan Marko, HBA'08; Amir Fishman, BA'09; and Daniela Gassi, BMus'06; who are also known to many in Toronto as "Train Reaction." Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate Western's extraordinary achievements on the occasion of our 137th anniversary. Registration is $15 per person and includes entrance to the CN Tower as well as complimentary appetizers and soft drinks. A cash bar will be available. Founder’s Day is celebrated annually by the Western community on March 7. It is a time for Western to remember the contributions of its founders and celebrate our students, staff, faculty and alumni and their accomplishments. One of Canada’s oldest universities, Western was founded on March 7, 1878 when the charter was proclaimed. To commemorate this day, members of the Alumni Association have developed a grassroots initiative to promote Founder’s Day. Join Founder's Day on Social Media
